(A lone voice whispers.)
Bind me not to only love
But to true divine friendship
Bind me not to only love
But to the warmth of our wet hungry lips
First thing in the morning
And last thing at midnight
Bind me not to your words to embrace
But to the sweet tranquil noise of two crashing hips
Bind me not to a life of emotional slavery
But to the core of your very soul
Bind me to place
To live
Inside
Forever
A place no one
Else
Will ever know
My words to you
My love
Bind me instead to the bow of your immortal ship
For we can then
Sail together
Into the everlasting
Sunset
And make a home
In a serene place
When our time
Comes
Only those bound
In spiritual wedlock
Can ever go
To hold hands
To walk
Barefoot through the falling
Heavenly snow
So don't just bind
Me to a golden ring
Bind me to your
Everything
So standing
In a circle of true love
Our twin's souls
Can sing
And be unified
For we both
Were never locked together
By the long reach
Of bondage
Linked to mortal sin
